If the past is anything to go by, the reports on childhood mental illness
mentioned in Michael Day’s succinct article will receive the same treatment as
their predecessors. That is, they will be read, found interesting, and left to
gather dust; they, too, will become “forgotten”.
The time is long overdue for urgent action to help children with mental
illness. And, among other things, there is a great need for a significant
increase in the number and geographic spread of accredited courses for the
education and training of nurses in the specialism.
